PermaDecal (Indoor/Outdoor) Chesapeake Bay Retriever

These are my PermaDecals: bold, vibrant decals featuring one of my original hand-drawn designs!

Printed on high-quality transparent film using advanced DTF technology, these decals are made to last. They’re tough, glossy, and ready for real life, whether that’s on your vehicle, dog crate, tumbler, water bucket, food bowl, cooler, tack box, trailer, laptop, or favorite piece of equipment.

If you want something that stays put and looks crisp for years, this is it.

Why You’ll Love Them

• Made from durable transparent film

• Printed using professional DTF technology

• Resistant to scratches, water, and sunlight

• Finished with a UV-protective matte laminate

• Purchase as a single decal or bundles of 5, 10, or 25

These decals adhere best to very smooth surfaces like glass, metal, finished wood, hard plastic, powder-coated surfaces, and vehicle panels.

Important Notes (Please Read)

These are true permanent decals. The adhesive is very strong, and the clear application film is also very tacky to ensure proper transfer.

They are not recommended for paper, cardboard, soft-touch finishes, or delicate surfaces, as removal could damage the surface.

While most customers are able to remove PermaDecals using heat (such as a hair dryer or heat gun) and an adhesive solvent, removal is done at your own risk. I cannot guarantee that any decal will come off cleanly from every surface.

If you're unsure about placement, test carefully before full application.

Care Instructions

 

To clean, gently wipe with a soft, clean, dry cloth. For heavier dirt, use mild soap and water on a smooth surface — avoid abrasive scrubbing.

Step 1: Prepare the Surface & PermaDecal Clean the Surface For the best long-term adhesion, apply your PermaDecal to a clean, dry surface. If needed, wipe the area with: Mild soap and water, or A 50/50 mixture of rubbing alcohol and water. Allow the surface to dry completely before application. While cleaning isn't always required, it helps your PermaDecal withstand weather, washing, and everyday wear. Pre-Burnish the Design Before removing the backing, place your PermaDecal face down so the back of the decal is facing up. Using the felt or padded edge of your squeegee, apply firm, even pressure across the entire design 2–4 times. Pay extra attention to small lettering, thin lines, and delicate details to ensure they fully adhere to the transfer film. ________________________________________ Step 2: Remove the Backing Slowly separate the clear transfer film from the back of the decal As you peel, carefully watch that every part of the design lifts onto the clear transfer film. Take your time—especially with intricate designs or small text. If any portion remains on the backing paper: Lay it back down. Burnish that area again with the squeegee. Try peeling from a slightly different angle. Slow and steady gives the best results. ________________________________________ Step 3: Position Your PermaDecal Decide exactly where you'd like your PermaDecal before pressing it into place. Small Designs (4" and under) Position the decal carefully using both hands, then press it onto the surface. Larger Designs (6" and larger) For larger decals, it's often easiest to start applying from one edge and slowly work across to the opposite side. This helps prevent air bubbles, wrinkles, and accidental shifting of the design. Helpful Tip: Leave one corner of the transfer film loose until you're ready to remove it. This makes peeling much easier after application. ________________________________________ Step 4: Complete the Transfer Once your PermaDecal is in position, firmly burnish the entire design with the squeegee 2–4 times, using even pressure. Instead of peeling outward, be sure to roll the transfer film downward slowly while watching to make sure every part of the design remains attached to your surface. If any section begins lifting with the transfer film: Lay the film back down. Burnish that area again with firm pressure. Slowly continue peeling. Take your time—the slower you peel, the better your results. ________________________________________ Caring for Your PermaDecal Apply only to clean, smooth, non-porous surfaces. Allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours before washing or exposing it to heavy moisture. Hand washing is recommended whenever possible. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals directly on the decal. Once applied, PermaDecals are designed to be permanent and cannot be repositioned without damaging the design.
